I did it. I developed the closest thing to a chick-fil-a sandwich that's ever existed. Its got that sweet, buttery and crisp fried chicken flavor that's so reminiscent of this southern fast-food favorite. The toasted potato bun is light and airy and the pickles help cut through the richness of the sandwich. If you don't have a chick-fil-a near you...or you do but don't want to contribute to their not-so-friendly ways, then this recipe is for you!

Don't forget, soaking the chicken in buttermilk is essential! Not only does it help flavor the chicken throughout, but it also helps it from drying out!

And if you don't have a deep fryer, don't worry! You can use any heavy-duty pan (like cast iron) as long as you flip it so that both sides have enough time to cook through.
